Now it's time to set
up Postfix to use Amavisd-new. This is a fairly generic configuration,
ace Postfix admins may futz and tweak to suit themselves. If you're not
real experienced with this part of Postfix, the book "Postfix," by
Richard Blum, is a first-rate reference.

And you now have a nice spam filter on your mail server. Start sending yourself the saved spams for testing.

You can run SpamAssassin on Postfix without using Amavisd-new. See the SpamAssassin Wiki
for howtos on different ways of installing and using SpamAssassin.
ClamAV needs Amavisd-new, so it's easy to let it manage SpamAssassin as
well.

Come back next week for the exciting installment on installing and using Clam Anti-Virus.
